Are there any incoming State Visits planned for 2024?

I hope Felipe and Letizia will pay a state visit to Luxembourg before Grand Duke Henri abdicates.

According to the ABC newspaper, King Felipe and Queen Letizia will make a State Visit to Jordan the first week of October.

So far this we haven't had any incoming State Visits ,this is very unusual unless they have been planned for Autumn/Winter 2024?
Normally its 2 incoming and 2 outgoing!

State Visits are a decision of the government, and this government does not always follow established customs. In the first half of the year there have been three important regional elections (Galicia, the Basque Country and Catalonia) and the European elections, so they have been more concerned about continually being on an electoral campaign.

Hopefully we will at least see one incoming State Visit for the end of 2024.

Finally a state visit from a European monarchy to Jordan after years. Hopefully there will be a state banquet with tiaras!

The swedish and norwegian state visits to Jordan just a few years ago did not even have black tie dinners - so i would not hold my breath for tiaras

Indeed. But then we surprisingly got tiaras and white tie at the Dinner at the Crown Princely Wedding last year.

My guess too. No tiaras. But they did surprise us in Jordan with a white tie and tiaras for the wedding. So maybe they now will do tiaras for the spanish visit. But to be honest, I guess not. Queen Letizia is probably happy to not wear jewellery anyways.

I am happy with the announcement of this state visit. After having made state visits to the United Kingdom, Japan, Morocco, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, now it is time to make a state visit to Jordan.
State visits from European monarchies still need to be made to Norway, Belgium and Luxembourg.

I was thinking the same thing!

I always loved that Queen Sofia wore the sash and star of the (dynastic) Order of Saints Olga and Sophia given to her by her father, rather than the (republican) Order of the Redeemer, which she was presumably awarded by the President. The same was done by Queen Margrethe II in 2009 during the Greek president's State Visit to Denmark.

And it was the only time she wore the fleur de lys tiara at the State Banquet for a President. It was worn only for another President in June 2014 shortly before the abdication of her husband.
